IAT placement

So opposed to putting the IAT sensor in the charge pipe like all other kits, is it ok and will it work fine if I put it on the back side of my elbow from Aaron? dumIf ya will the computer still read it correctly or will I get funky readings?

I would think as long as you are getting an accurate reading of the air temp going in it would be fine.

No, Vic jr with a Sheet metal 6061 elbow. The back of the elbow has 3 untapped boss's on the back side so I was gonna tap one of um and screw the IAT on the back side of elbow.
